Description
VERY RARE. THE EARLIEST DUTCH MAP OF SOUTH AMERICA. A nice example of De Jode's important map of South America, based largely upon Petrus Plancius' wall map of the World.
De Jode's map of South America is one of the earliest maps to show the continent of South America alone and the earliest Dutch map of South America.
The map includes a finely detailed treatment of the coastal regions of the continent. In the interior parts of South America, the larger river systems are shown, along with annotations describing the regions, flora and fauna. Including decorative vignettes, native scenes, and animals. The map reaches to Central America and the Caribbean, embellished with ships and sea monsters around the continent.
The map is among the very few maps which reference the Straits of Magellan with its earlier name, Estrecho de la Victoria. The name was used by Pigafetta in his description of Magellan's voyage, named for Magellan's flagship, which is illustrated to the west of the Strait.
The 'Speculum Orbis Terrae' of 1593 of Cornelis de Jode did not sell well (like the edition of 1578 of his father Gerard de Jode) and was never reissued. For that reason this map is very scarce. This copy is without text on verso and surely published separately. "It is recorded that de Jode was selling the maps separately; examples are found without text on the reverse" (Burden).
